Excellent Trimmer For Your Hedges! By mickeem on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Well, another summer is here, and more garden equipment has to be bought. I have evergreen hedges, and perennial hedges that were in desperate need of trimming.
I had to buy a new pair of clippers, due to moving out of stae, and leaving my old ones behind. I bought these, well, for the price, and the fact that I didnt have that much to trim, that was far away from my house, and a power outlet.
These are electric, so if you have garden items to clip, that are far away, remember that...
I took these out of the box, and they were all in one piece, I did not have to put anything together. Thats always a plus.
I pluegged them in, and went to work. I found that these were pretty light. I did not have to stop to rest my arms.
The stlye of thee, also made them easy to run. There is a small 6 inch connector plug, that can wrap, and attach to the bottom of the handle, to keep the cord out of your way.
There are two buttons. Once is the safety button, and the other is the operational button. so you cannot turn it on, unless you hit the saftey button first. But they are both close in proximety, so it's easy to hold onto.
I was absolutely amazed at the ease of cutting. Again, I have some evergreen hedges, and those can take some time to cut. This thing ripped right through them, with no problems whatsoever. I almost can't wait for them to grow more, so I can go cut some more!
These have a 2 year waranty, and y ou can fill out the card they come with , and mail it in. I have had really good luck with the Homelite brand.
These are a great clipper, if you can use an electric pair (not good if you are far from an electric plug). These are lightweight, and wow, these can trim the hedges!
Homelite 17" 2.7Amp Electric Purchased at: Home Depot Price: 30.00

I prefer electric ones over gas ones but I have a terrible problem with cutting though cords. Now I tend to use my manual ones more than anything else.
Oh yeah, I could tear up something with that.
I need new trimmers and will look into these. I really like that it has a two year warranty with it. Great details and tons of information. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

This sounds like a very nice hedge trimmer. Thanks for sharing.
